Is Kre-Alkalyn really the best creatine?

Hadn't thought about it for a while, but just saw a huge, 2-page ad for it in a bodybuilding mag. The ad - entitled "Case Closed" - claims that Kre-Alkalyn is by far the best and only creatine you should be using.

Any truth to that?
 
Who knows??? I took it for nine months and made great gains. More than likely it was just my hardwork and beginner gains that gave me the results I have today. Once again who knows??? I'm currently taking raw creapure.
 
its the only type of creatine ive ever noticed anything on... but then again, i dont respond AT ALL to the other types ive tried (monohydrate, cee, chelate, hydrochloride, etc etc... never tried nitrate though).
 
I love the stuff! Hang on for a second though and you'll get on the haters posting here saying it's just creatine with baking soda. Well, I'm VERY in tune with my body and know if something works or not. KA, at least for me, works much better than mono.
 
I'm a fan of it and do notice a difference when I'm on it or off it. However, everyone responds differently to different things. Some people love straight monohydrate, others dont. Basically best to experiment, see how you respond, and go from there. But again, I've responded well to it and would say it's definitely a good product
 
NO...

krealkalyn is creatine monohydrate with a buffer agent.... you can made it at your kitchen mixing creapure with bicarbonate and is cheaper...
 
kre-alk is just mono + baking soda.......there really is nothing special about it.

bulk mono works just as well, for a lot less money.

Actually, I didn't believe it! Much like all of those ads, it sounds "too good to be true."

I just wanted to toss the subject out to you guys and see what you thought.
 
I think it depends on the person, like really everything. Personally I get strong and bigger on mono but I also bloat. MCC has been the best creatine for me and become a staple.
 
Magnesium Creatine Chelate has worked the best for me as well. It also has human studies backing it up, studies that say it works better than mono. I've found this is true in my own experiences as well.

my friend is the same way, he was giving rave reviews about green mag. when i took it i experienced NOTHING, but thats not to say it isnt good or doesnt work for most people. in fact, quite the opposite from what ive heard.
 
I think good ol mono and MCC are still two of the best forms and both have a plethora of studies to show their effectiveness.
 
IMO, there is no such thing as the BEST creatine. everybody responds to different things. i respond well to CEE where other people think its crap and would laugh at me. you have to try different kinds and see what you like best. and give each kind about 2 months or so, if not more

Negative, and what makes Kre-Alk so good is it is the only creatine that can digest in an acidic environment(like your stomach). No other creatine digests from ph levels 7-14 so it honestly is the only purely absorbable creatine. And it's not as simple as it seems to make kre-alk, if it were there wouldn't be MULTIPLE government issues patents. Alot of people "don't see results" simply because unlike mono you don't bloat! People mistake water weight gain for increase in lbs of muscle.

But everyone responds differently to creatine, I personally dont see a benefit when I take creatine.

strong first post bro

seems to me you need to stop reading the companies write-ups, and actually do some real research. because what you've just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

try to put some krealk in water and measure the pH... then put some creatine monohydrate with some sodium bicarbonate in water and mesure the pH....

try to do it its very simple and low cost... then post the results here...

krealkalin in water have a basic pH (>>8)... krealkalin in a slightly acidic solution (6-6,5) has not changed the pH of the solution... then imagine in strongly acid solution like gastic acid (1-2) what can happen...?
 
i personally like them both. Monohydrate seems to make me retain more water which is why i prefer using it on lifting days and on non lifting days I will just use kre alkalyn.

5 grams monohydrate (1 teaspoon) or 5 grams of kre alkalyn (1 teaspoon) I dont buy the idea that you need less kre alkalyn. I have tried it at 1.5 gram doses and it was consideraly less effective for me. Even though the doses are the same size the only difference i really notice is less water weight/bloat with kre alkalyn

you take less creatine with krealk... cause its 5gr with the buffer agent...

you can try to take 2,5-3gr of monohydrate with 2-2,5gr of sodium/potassium bicarbonate with empty stomach and see how it goes with bloating....

ill have to try that and compare
 
I don't really respond to creatine that much in general, I tried everything but nitrates (which is suppose to be good for pumps,
which are imho pretty useless aside from temporary excitement..)

I've been on Kre for the longest time, noticed nothing different from creapure, noticed nothing different
when dropped Kre and went back to creapure.

Regardless, what do you really expect from creatine? is not that will bring such incredible gains or strength
or recovery or whatever, it help a bit, very lil for some a lil more for others. Beta Alanine (with creatine) got me
way better and noticeable effects

exactly.. i remember when i first started working out as a freshman in high school people acted like creatine was the equivalent of modern-day prohormones. i guess it didnt help that the people at gnc and nutrition stores would make ABSURD statements like 'you can probably gain about 20lbs on a big tub of a celltech'.
